Bombastic, Pompous Blowhard, Bob Beckel  the token "Liberal" and a co-host onThe Five at Fox News, on August 17, 2011 and August 18, 2011,called Italian-Americans "grease balls" and stated that all Italian-Americans are garbage men.
 
 The Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition (IAOVVC) "Defenders" Team moved into action and were ultimately able to get an apology.
 
Just Imagine had Beckel talked about "Kikes" and all the "Shylocks on Wall Street " ?   

Important update on Bob Beckel!

It appears that the pressure we've been putting on Bob Beckel and Fox News may be working!  

Yes, thanks to Manny Alfano coordinating all the emails and calls from our "Defenders" Team and our supporters to Fox News over the last 2 weeks, we have made an impact!

On last night's "The Five" program during a discussion about another apology he should make Beckel blurted out "...I've got to already apologize to Italians on Friday, so when I'll be back I'll do it..."  (See the clip of the show at the link below where he makes this pronouncement at about 6:54 into the clip.)

Excellent!  But, considering his choice of words, it appears that either 1) he is being forced to do this; or, 2) he now feels an obligation to apologize for his blatantly racist and stereotypical comments denigrating Italian Americans on a number of occasions.  Unfortunately, I believe it is #1!  But, in either case IT WILL BE A VICTORY FOR OUR CAUSE!  And, it is thanks to our unified efforts!

Now, let's all be sure to watch on Friday at 5 PM Eastern on Fox News and see if he follows through on his apology and, more importantly, how he apologizes.  This could be very telling!

Thanks for your efforts and let's continue to work together to defend our heritage and culture.

Grazie!

Andre' DiMino, President,  Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition
